Another week!!

Wow, what a BUSY weekend I had!! Let's start with Friday....My friend came over and I cooked spaghetti and we worked on the puzzle! It was really fun! I went to bed early because saturday morning I had to run 10 miles! It was a rough run...but I made it! After that I cleaned my apartment and did some laundry. I had to teach a class at church from 7:30-9:30 and I was so exhausted!! So after that class I went home and went straight to bed!! Yesterday I went to church and then went to the grocery store for the week! I was really missing some Tex-mex this weekend so I made some homemade salsa....well its more like pico but its really delicious!! I was very proud of myself.....As I am writing this blog I keep smelling something very strange...it smells like dog poo....I think I might vomit! SICK! I am finished teaching for the day and I am just sitting at my computer.  I really want to find the source of this smell bc I don't want to be here all day smelling it! I am very excited because the weather is getting warmer and I have to run 40 minutes after school! It's going to be awesome!! I've been enjoying the weather when I am running lately! Alright I have to get back to doing nothing at my desk...hahaha Just kidding!! :-)

Mac and Cheese!

Hello! It's been a long time since I have written on this blog! Let me fill you in on what has been going on in my life in Korea. During my 6 week winter vacation I taught Korean English teachers at the Teachers training center near my house. It was a great 4 weeks and I met some really awesome and interesting people! I made some new friends and got to hang out with my bike friends a lot too! After that class I went to Texas for 10 days! It was nice to be at home and I really needed to see my family and friends! During my first 5 months in Korea I gained about 10 lbs (5kg).....It was not a pretty sight! hahaha! Luckily since my return to Korea I have been training for a half marathon and lost 4 of those 5 kgs! I will be running in a half-marathon in Incheon on April 1st. I am very excited to have the opportunity to run a race in another country! Plus I get a really cool wind breaker out of the deal!! After winter vacation I had to "teach" for 1 week and then had another vacation for 2 weeks.  I put teach in quotes because it was the last week of the year and so I basically kept the kids from killing each other and brought some candy. Then my students graduated, which meant it was time for Spring vacation. During that time I took a trip to Seoul for 4 days and 3 nights. It was really great! I got to take a tour of the DMZ and see North Korea. It was a nice break. Now I have been back at school for over a week. I have new students in 1st grade and two new co teachers. I am so glad that my crazy co teacher is no longer going to be in my life! Her replacement is an angel! Her classes are 100% different from my previous experience! Over all I have really enjoyed teaching the last week! I have also started teaching Kindergarten Sunday school at the church I have been attending. ****I just have to make a side note here and say that my other new co teacher now sits next to me and she is now sighing so much and clicking her pen that I am having trouble concentrating on what I am writing!**** I love teaching the kindergarten kids and it really makes me happy to see them on Sunday mornings! I am also teaching some teachers at a local high school on Tuesday nights to make some extra money! The kindergarten I do as volunteer work but the teachers I am getting paid an extra hundred dollars a week! Sweet!! I bet you are wondering why the title of this blog is mac and cheese....let me explain that....so since I have returned to school I have been drinking Green Vibrance (if you don't know what it is I suggest you look it up and try it because it is amazing!) instead of eating in the cafeteria. This has been one of the main reason I have been able to lose weight! Since I haven't been eating in the cafeteria it has now become a thing because I told everyone I was on a diet so they didn't think it was because I didn't like the food.  Well since everyone now thinks I am on a diet they are watching my every move. I bring a nutri grain bar for breakfast every morning and usually one person a day asks me if that's on my diet! But this week I have been very hungry because I am in the longest distances of my training! So today I was looking at recipes to cook in a slow cooker and I came across one for Mac and Cheese....For those of you who know me well you know I LOVE Mac and cheese!! So now I have this craving for some really delicious mac and cheese. I don't think it will be possible for me to buy all ingredients for it but I am going to try this weekend. So after my 10 mile run I will be making some mac and cheese to enjoy!! I can't wait!! I have one more class today and then I am off to teach some teachers!! I will try to be better about writing on here!!
